Saturday we went down to Beverly, to my parents house. We had some old family friends over as well, and Uncle Francis came. I think I am going to have to stick the video in as a link, rather than alert you to it in the queue on the right, because for some reason it isn't showing up there, and people are having issues with it - maybe because of its length. It is over 7 minutes - so its a commitment. But it is worth it, I promise. Lots of cupcake eating and present opening. I'm going to try directly pasting in the link and we'll see if that works - it doesn't look as pretty as uploading the video file right into the post, but sadly my computer is far to antiquarian for that. At least I can use words like antiquarian, right?
Then on Sunday, we had a smaller birthday gathering with just Frank and Genie - a few more presents to unwrap.
All in all, a really excellent first birthday.
Today, Lucy had her 12 month doctor's checkup, which did not go quite so well, so she was teary and very exhausted. But she's doing well - growing mostly upward - 30 inches and only 19 pounds, but I'm trying to get her to eat as much cheese and cake as I can :)
I am off to try to watch the Red Sox stave off their slow and painful death...(so far - fail.)
